Big thank you to Poképédia for listing the resources used to make this video (list of Pokemons, drawings, name etymology): www.pokepedia.fr/Liste_des_Pok%C3%A9mon_de_la_premi%C3%A8re_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9ration I didn't detail the words behind every single Pokemon name, you will find more information over there for those I didn't talk about. Also it's "Pikachu" not "Pikatchu", sorry buddy!
Something trivial on offer, most of them should be quite obvious but hey, it's good to know: I've never known any Pokemon outside Pikachu. This is my first time listening and I'm typing it real-time, hence if I misinterpret any of this I apologise :)) "Draco" is Latin for Dragon "Carapuce" may have come from "Carapace", which is the scientific name of the shell of a Turtle "Raticate" may have come from the word "Eradicate", similar to "Wipe out" "Vulpix" comes from the scientific name for the fox family, "Vulpus" "Nosferapti" is from a silent film about a vampire of the same name "Oddish" may be a portmanteau of "Odd" and "Radish" "Rafflesia" is also one of the world's largest flowers alongside the Titan Aurum "Paras" possibly from the word "Parasite" IMO Psyduck looks more like a platypus than a duck, but it's Pokemon so it doesn't really matter "Primeape" may be a portmanteau of "Primate" and "Ape" (which are ALMOST the same thing) "Abra-cadabra" well, just listen to children on Halloween "Gravalanch" might have been influenced by the word "avalanche" as well? "Ponyta" sounds like "Bonita" from Spanish which means pretty "Doduo" may be from "Dodo" which is a type of extinct giant pigeon from the Pacific Islands "Seel" is a combination of "Seal" and "Eel", while "Dewgong" is from "Dugong", a relative to the Manatee (both are Sea Cows); one has a boomerang-shaped tail while one has a semicircular tail "Grimer" is a play on "grime" while "Muk" is a play on "Muck" which is wet and sticky dirt "Ecto" is a prefix to designate "external things" while "plasma" is the remains of blood without the red blood cells in them, so "Ectoplasma" = "body fluids outside the body"?? The "Lee" in "Kicklee" and "Hitmonlee" may reference Bruce Lee, a Kungfu star from Hong Kong? The "Chan" in "Hitmonchan" is probably Jackie Chan, so the English name will become "HIT MONster LEE" "Tangela" is from the word "Tangle" "Kangaskhan" is possible a combination of "Kangaroo" and Ghengis Khan" (Mongolian Conqueror) "Seadra" is a portmanteau of "Sea" and "Hydra" (Mythological waterborne monster, Greek) "Pyroli" has the part "Pyro" in it, which is a prefix for anything related to fire "Amonita" is a pun on "Ammonite" which are a group of extinct sea creatures looking very similar to what the Pokemon looks like "Ptera"+"Aerodactyl" = "Pterodactyl" which is the name for flying dinosaurs
THE EFFORT it must've took to put all of these pictures and text in for each of these Pokémon. 👏👏 This must've taken forever to make so thank you! And loved listening to this too.
That's incredible how many countries have different pokemon names. I thought every country (except asian coutries) had the english names. This is because in the italian version we use the english names. And that just shocks me
I've watched this video about 10 times and never made it to the end without falling asleep... as someone who often struggles to fall asleep please take that as a compliment of the highest degree!!
as an original 151 pokemon fan who loves learning about etymologies and studied french, this randomly turned out to be so very interesting to me! that was great, nice video idea! :D
I really enjoy hearing the different language names for Pokémon because it's clear that they've taken the time to preserve the "spirit" of each one but still have a fun flavour to it that works in each language, even if that means slightly altering the etymology of the name.
This video's 7 months old so there's not a high chance that she'll ever see this but this is definitely my favorite video of the channel, i find it so relaxing when she explains the puns in the names and everything. I'm waiting for more videos like these, they're so cool. Great job (There might be mistakes my english is far from perfect)
I comment on videos very rarely, but on this i really had to give some feedback because it was just amazing. It was interesting to learn the names, it was calming and relaxing to listen to the pronunciations and it was just about the perfect length for me. Thank you very much and i hope you will do the other generations too 😊👍
Do all the generations. It is interesting between the two languages on names and word derivation but your whisper voice and explanation is what's great.
Tout ce travail de montage en valait vraiment la chandelle; c'est visuellement très beau! Ici, il n'y avait que la version anglaise à la télé, alors c'est hyper intéressant d'apprendre les noms français! J'adore les jeux de mots! Et commencer avec Maddy et finir avec Meowth, il faut le faire 🤯
25:32 is my favourite part of the video: your visible disgust at the name ‘Geodude’. For myself, I really liked the names Reptincel, Chenipan and, of course, Rattfratz, though I *love* that the legendary birds have Ancient Gods incorporated into their names in French* ; really emphasises their mythical nature all the more. This was a fascinating insight into the French names for Pokémon, as well as the French words which informed their construction, and I’m very much looking forward to a follow-up video for the other generations as well; thank you for taking the time to make this! *on a related note, I realised only recently that the English names for them included the Spanish 'Uno', 'Dos' and 'Tres'...
@@BehindTheMoons Fair enough, though I wouldn't blame you for disliking Geodude's slightly uninspired name; it's not one I'm particularly fond of myself
I've never been into Pokémon but I still found your video immensely relaxing and calming 😊 and gotta say I absolutely love the sweater! The combination of colors making it look like a clouds in the sky is amazingly relaxing as well!
I love that in French Vileplume is just called Rafflesia, because that is genuinely one of my favorite plants, especially because of the fact that it's just what Vileplume is based on. Grass types grew on me when I got back into pokemon, and it's affected my real life adoration of plants
This video, with the explanation of the french pokemon names, made me think that a lot of french words (grammatically) are very similar to Italian more than i thought... BTW i usually have some issues to find good ASMR videos but i really like this one. Well-done! Fun fact: the italian names of the pokemon are exactly the same of the English ones.
This is amazing, love the comparisons, it's interesting how much creative license they seemed to have when translating the names, a lot of them are very different!
Such a cool and unique video idea! It’s apparent you put in lots of work 💕 Thank you so much for explaining the french names/references and adding annotations!
wow ! just incredible, so much work, just wanted to know, is french or english your second language, cause you speak extremely well both to the point idk which you speak in your everyday life
First time I’ve come across your channel and I must say it is one of my favourites so far! It might be because I love the French accent but you’re really talented! ☺️
13:59 also feun is the verlan of neuf which is number 9 just a reminder that the pokemon has 9 tails (the official french translater said that it was the pokemon name he was the most proud of)
Ayant vécu un an en France en pleine folie pokémon, ce vidéo rapporte une panoplie de souvenir. Je pensais avoir complètement oublier les noms français, mais apparemment non! C'est super comme idée par contre!
aw so many of these sound so nice in French- i've always had a soft spot for Sandshrew & Growlithe, the French versions Sabelette & Caninos sound so cool :))
C'est la première vidéo que je regarde de cette chaine et c'était vraiment très agréable ( et j'ai révisé un peu l'anglais en même temps )! ^^ Mini remarque, d'Artagnan n'est pas un des 3 mousquetaires ( Athos Prthos et Aramis ) mais un ami de ces derniers.
Hi, It seems that you worked hard to prepare this film, a unique and very cool idea! Beautiful realization, congratulations and a great like, keep it up :)
Amazing video, i barely could stay awak just for the curiosity to know the other names! Besides I'm Italian and I wonder how could have been our Pokémon names if we manages to have a custom translation too instead of the standard English one that we use. My two nickels would have been on Volpina (tiny fox) for Vulpix and Volpove (Fox + Nine) for Ninetales
My kids are half Taiwanese, and so they know both the English and Chinese names of all the Pokémon. It's an impressive amount of information to keep in active memory. They often get into arguments about which types are strong or weak against other types and which types this or that Pokémon is.
i didn't know papillon was the French equivalent to butterfly in English but it makes these yugioh cards i have with monsters shaped like those insects that are named things like papilloperative make a lot more sense now
Abo for Boa while Ekans means snake , arbok didn't change because Kobra is just cobra in french It's funny how sometimes the translation team used the same logic while sometimes they used other pokemon properties in their name
Much like you teach us, we can teach you! I'm sure someone else as said this but I'm too lazy to read the comments lol. You pronounced Charmander - Charizard like Karmander, with K sound, but it is actually tch like cheese or chime. Char is a word that means like to burn something. Hope this helps!
Glad I found your videos. This is a really cool one. Also like how your accent is French, but pronouncing certain words leads to a British or Australian one.

"Draco" is Latin for Dragon
"Carapuce" may have come from "Carapace", which is the scientific name of the shell of a Turtle
"Raticate" may have come from the word "Eradicate", similar to "Wipe out"
"Vulpix" comes from the scientific name for the fox family, "Vulpus"
"Nosferapti" is from a silent film about a vampire of the same name
"Oddish" may be a portmanteau of "Odd" and "Radish"
"Rafflesia" is also one of the world's largest flowers alongside the Titan Aurum
"Paras" possibly from the word "Parasite"
IMO Psyduck looks more like a platypus than a duck, but it's Pokemon so it doesn't really matter
"Primeape" may be a portmanteau of "Primate" and "Ape" (which are ALMOST the same thing)
"Abra-cadabra" well, just listen to children on Halloween
"Gravalanch" might have been influenced by the word "avalanche" as well?
"Ponyta" sounds like "Bonita" from Spanish which means pretty
"Doduo" may be from "Dodo" which is a type of extinct giant pigeon from the Pacific Islands
"Seel" is a combination of "Seal" and "Eel",
while "Dewgong" is from "Dugong", a relative to the Manatee (both are Sea Cows); one has a boomerang-shaped tail while one has a semicircular tail
"Grimer" is a play on "grime" while "Muk" is a play on "Muck" which is wet and sticky dirt

@@tsangwaiho4264 bro just a thing: I love all this comment❤️
@@aethlynn super want a pokémon attack video now
also i really like the way you put the translation in the top left for some, it really adds to it for me
Thank you! The editing took actually so long, to add all the text and pictures, but I'm glad I still added the annotations.
@@BehindTheMoons Thank you for taking the time for it! It turned out great
i agree it really makes the video for me
@@BehindTheMoons It was relaxing and educational, thank you for doing it
THE EFFORT it must've took to put all of these pictures and text in for each of these Pokémon. 👏👏 This must've taken forever to make so thank you! And loved listening to this too.
Gotta love Bulbapedia lol
That's incredible how many countries have different pokemon names. I thought every country (except asian coutries) had the english names. This is because in the italian version we use the english names. And that just shocks me
in portugal we use english names too
A French translator fought really really hard to get custom pokemon names, and partially because his names were so well made, he got to do it.
In Latin America we also use the english names
yep, in french, almost all the pokemons got a rename, exexpt for a few ones
I think there is a french, German and Spanish version
I've watched this video about 10 times and never made it to the end without falling asleep... as someone who often struggles to fall asleep please take that as a compliment of the highest degree!!
Thank you! I'm happy you find it relaxing 😊
0:25
The way you worded this makes it sound like you just recently found out, that you grew up in France lol
as an original 151 pokemon fan who loves learning about etymologies and studied french, this randomly turned out to be so very interesting to me! that was great, nice video idea! :D

And I move for Golduck to be Akwakwak in the English games! Immediately!
As an English speaker and lifelong pokemon fan this was really fun to see what the names of them are in French I enjoyed this a lot, merci!

Nice! Can't wait for you to translate the 1035 pokemons left!!!
I've been trying to watch the full video like 5 times now and I can't because I keep falling asleep from how relaxing it is
I comment on videos very rarely, but on this i really had to give some feedback because it was just amazing. It was interesting to learn the names, it was calming and relaxing to listen to the pronunciations and it was just about the perfect length for me. Thank you very much and i hope you will do the other generations too 😊👍
Thank you very much Daniel! As this video was really long to make I don't know if I'll do the other generations at some point, maybe in the future :)
Heavily appreciate the work put into research, editing and the whole lot! Wow!
Do all the generations. It is interesting between the two languages on names and word derivation but your whisper voice and explanation is what's great.
Ekans backwards is Snake. And Arbok backwards is Kobra. I always thought that was cool.
Yeah! I was wondering if the french name for Ekans, “Abo”, was the letters of “Boa” mixed up in a kind of similar fashion
Yeah and Muk backwards is..... Oh noooooo
@@Nichotis NO
@@me_alam that's not a woosh moment
@@brandtboy1exactly dude your on the point
I love it
absolutely loving how she says Charmander I'm getting hype for the rest of this ☺️
Aaah the purring in the background makes this even better! I love it!
Tout ce travail de montage en valait vraiment la chandelle; c'est visuellement très beau! Ici, il n'y avait que la version anglaise à la télé, alors c'est hyper intéressant d'apprendre les noms français! J'adore les jeux de mots! Et commencer avec Maddy et finir avec Meowth, il faut le faire 🤯
oops, c'était Mew et non Meowth à la fin🤦 j'y suis allé de mémoire, j'étais proche😂
I never knew a voice could be so relaxing
If you find a video, in ASMR, with a French accent, talking about Pokémon - you click it.
25:32 is my favourite part of the video: your visible disgust at the name ‘Geodude’.
For myself, I really liked the names Reptincel, Chenipan and, of course, Rattfratz, though I *love* that the legendary birds have Ancient Gods incorporated into their names in French* ; really emphasises their mythical nature all the more.

though that wasn't disgust, I was surprised that's all.
@@BehindTheMoons Fair enough, though I wouldn't blame you for disliking Geodude's slightly uninspired name; it's not one I'm particularly fond of myself
C'est dans ma liste de recommandation depuis quelques jours. J'ai bien fait de regarder, c'est trop mimi!
You should make a video for every generation! Definitely would watch😌
I've never been into Pokémon but I still found your video immensely relaxing and calming 😊 and gotta say I absolutely love the sweater! The combination of colors making it look like a clouds in the sky is amazingly relaxing as well!
I honestly don't know why I stopped watching your videos for a while, you're absolutely amazing and I loved this. Salutations du Mexique!
This was a lot of fun and very relaxing as well. Plus I love the way you pronounce the english names. Thank you so much for all these vids.
Rewatched it today and i really need a video with every pokemon! Lovely
This is a perfect crossover, such a good video great job Moons!

Wow, I’m astounded at the effort you put into this video. It’s a great first impression of your channel.

Being a player of Pokemon Go who lives in France, but is not French, this is actually very useful
This is amazing, love the comparisons, it's interesting how much creative license they seemed to have when translating the names, a lot of them are very different!
L'effet de deux microphones est formidable. Super tingly. Merci mille fois 😎
Merci! :)
I don't normally comment on ASMR videos but this is genuinely fascinating. Great stuff!
Such a cool and unique video idea! It’s apparent you put in lots of work 💕 Thank you so much for explaining the french names/references and adding annotations!
I love your facial responses to the English words. This was surprisingly tingly. Thank you!
9:39 made me smile, because I just thought of it and then you said it out loud
It’s really cool to see the difference between the French and English names!
I still come back to your Pokemon videos after all these years 💕
I love Pokemons and I love your ASMR videos, wonderful combo ♥️ Great job 💫
your voice so relaxing 😍🥺❤️ thank you for this
wow ! just incredible, so much work, just wanted to know, is french or english your second language, cause you speak extremely well both to the point idk which you speak in your everyday life
J'adore que tu explique les liens entre les mots et les noms des pokémons et que tu décripte et explique. C'est trop cool.
J'adore cette vidéo.
First time I’ve come across your channel and I must say it is one of my favourites so far! It might be because I love the French accent but you’re really talented! ☺️
This is so calming and relaxing even now
your reaction to geodude absolutely sent me 💀 fantastic video!
I love this ! Thank you for make me sleep all the nights. 🥰🥰🥰 without u my life isnt complete
I know them well in french but not the other way around, that's nice
This was great! Please do the next gens! I just found this channel and I already love it.
thank u for this i love pokemon sm, it was genuinely a joy to find out clefairy's french name
13:59 also feun is the verlan of neuf which is number 9 just a reminder that the pokemon has 9 tails (the official french translater said that it was the pokemon name he was the most proud of)

Was going to fall asleep to this but ended up listening to the whole thing as I was so interested in learning all the names in another language lol
This is so super relaxing, absolutely love it!
Holy crap, you put a lot of effort into this video! Amazing
BTM, thank you for this most enchanting and relaxing ASMR video.
ahh i love this!! I've recently gotten back into pokemon big time so this is a nice surprise to see in my recommended :D
Tortank is definitely gonna be a future pokemon it's a perfect name for a new gen turtle
Thank you for another great video, moons! I love pokemon and I love your content!
Please do with the other generation of Pokemon!!! I love it!
amazing video :) makes me real sleepy thank you very much
Thank you!
Love the cat purring!😌💖

It's funny how sometimes the translation team used the same logic while sometimes they used other pokemon properties in their name

honestly this is one of my favourite ASMR videos to listen to its new, relaxing, interesting. Any chance of having a part 2 with a new generation?
Excellent! Ready for gen 2.
J'adore le concept 💙
I hope you do all the generations in the future. This is great. I love Pokemon and you have a very calming voice.
I’ve been waiting for this one 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
i love your hair, makeup and sweater !! it's so cute
This was an awesome idea!
Whoever came up with the French names is a genius
Could you perhaps do this for other Pokémon generations? This was a nice video
Aww the look of pure confusion when looking at some of the English words was so cute lmao
Great video, my French is very limited but couldn’t the “fort” in Coconfort also mean strong since it is protected? Just an observation
Awesome 😀 thank you 😊
Much like you teach us, we can teach you! I'm sure someone else as said this but I'm too lazy to read the comments lol. You pronounced Charmander - Charizard like Karmander, with K sound, but it is actually tch like cheese or chime. Char is a word that means like to burn something. Hope this helps!
